Thanks again for the reply. Yes, I have already reported to the police regarding my passport. The fault was I did not go through their website before sending my passport. Nowhere in the application form they have mentioned about sending them an envelope. I had went through each and every word of application form. At least they should have mentioned to refer their website for further rules and procedure. But they didnt do it. I am quite anxious about the things which are going to unfold. Hope everything goes well.

Thank you very much for the valuable reply. Yes I have sent it through Special Delivery. Even I have maintained the receipt with me. Last week I had called them up and they said that they have initiated an enquiry with Royal Mail and it will take 10 working days to complete. I am not quite sure what would be the outcome of that enquiry. If they cant trace it will they reimburse all the money for new passport? Thanks Iqbal

Hi, I had applied for provisional licence to DVLA and I got my provisional licence. But till now I did not get my Passport back. It is already 1 month since I sent them the application. The big mistake I have made is I did not keep the special return envelope. That does not mean that I should expect to loose my passport. I had to go on holiday and I missed that and had to cancel my flight tickets. When I called DVLA they said that they have already dispatched to Royal Mail on 08/08/2011. But till now I have not received it. I could see some the members also going through the same situation. But no conclusive solution. Could someone throw some lights on what would be my next step please. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Regards, Iqbal
